I have a ton of PC parts, includin an IDE Card with all the ports on it.
I got it for $40 at a local computer store, only to find out the
computer's main board that I had was screwed up. If you need it, I would
be willing to sell it. I have some other boards too, so if you need
anything, ask. I could probably sell it to you.
Hope I can help. Also, Someone mentioned a National Sample that worked
good in place of the 7805 regulator, If it works better than a 78L05, I
might get them instead!!!
Can you help me out?
Hopefully we can both help each other out!!!
